Not hard @ all to set up a sawmill in several ways.

Are you a Moke?

Just curious, did/do you flatten those slabs, or buy them that way? Takes some pretty good hardware to do that unless you're going rustic old school.

Neither. The GC I'm doing the work showed up with them. They came this way but aren't very flat. I'm sure when they came off their flattening device they might have been. But one of them has a twist and the thickness varies from 1 3/4" to 1 1/2" which may prove to be an issue. The final size glued up is going to be less than 4x8 so my buddy with the CNC will get them flat for me. Hopefully I can get 1 1/4" out of them.

Which one?

Less than 2 weeks ago.

The cabinets will be getting a slab countertop and the bark needs to be removed. I used a draw knife to get the job done in a few minutes. And yes, that's what I play in the background when I'm working or sanding. Angry music.

I’m over 6’ tall and went multiple circles in a mosh pit during Pantera with my feet never touching the ground. For some reason I had moccasin slippers on. Fun, fun times. Good work too. Love live edge wood

Which one?

I missed this one.. LOL

All of them.

Leave it to Leo to figure out a way to sit down on the job!

The chair with wheels is integral to my efficiency. 😝

Have you tried a creeper?

I like it. That handrail return is a little weird though.

 

[Calidecks]

Should have this wrapped up tomorrow.

 

[Calidecks]

That's a wrap!

Very clean!

I'm gonna classify this as crazy. Making my own antenna mast. Ordered some Red Grandis which is good for outdoors. Making a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" x72ft tall antenna mast with torsion box construction. And it's going to be on a hinge so I can take it down for maintenance or severe weather. I had a 30ft section built and when I lifted it, it sagged about 1/8". Toughest part of the whole thing was trying to keep it straight as possible with crooked boards.

Lower section, split in two. The base is at the far end and when joined make about 30ft of length.

Trying to keep the top weight down I made a spire

The small part slips in 18" and will be glued and screwed like everything else.
Angle to let water and snow slide off.

Here's all the parts from the bottom side.

And all the parts from the top view.

Each length is about 23 feet with overlaps of about 7 feet.

And here's the hinge, my neighbor is going to weld up the square tube to the 1/4" plate steel and then it gets painted up. It'll sit on a concrete base held down by "J" bolts used in foundations.

Thinking about putting a 2500lb winch on it so it can be raised and lowered easily. Have to figure that one out though.

See.... crazy.

 

[nickko]

Yep. Crazy.

You're way braver'n me, making a wooden "pipe" that tall. Really curious to see how that works out for you, especially over time.

As for the winch, that would be a non-issue if you had an additional primary tower half the height. Mount a pivot on that, attach it to the middle of the long one, and you could rotate it up and down with your little finger.
